All well and good, but do you have a seaplane ATP?

Nobody on here thinks it's a good idea to get an additional type rating. People dont do that anymore.

A type rating will not do you any good without experience in said type. Just like a college degree will not do you any good without recent experience in said job environment.

And no degree gets you no interview at most majors today.

I disagree.

The completion of a type rating demonstrates trainability. It can be seen as continued education; the advancement of your own personal aviation development.

A recent training event is a positive on a resume.

At the end of the day, the OP is interested in spending his money on a type. While a DC-3 type would be fun, the more beneficial type for someone pursuing an airline career would be the two types mentioned.

I'm not sure what good a SESATP will do. MES, that is a different cat.

About the same as an A320 or 737 type with no experience in today’s market.

None at all.

But at least it would be a memorable experience to discuss during an interview.

Not a big fan of pumping floats.
